The entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO is possibly a military reinforcement of the Alliance itself, but in both short and long word it can besides (positively) influence intelligence and counter-intelligence issues throughout the region or even Europe. Let us note that with the expansion of NATO, the anticipation of allied cooperation with entities previously concentrated outside the Alliance will increase first. For Finland, there will be an chance to work even better with the Finnish Defence Intelligence Agency (PVTIEDL) and the Finnish safety and Intelligence Service (SUPO). In Sweden, we request to separate MUST, which is the Intelligence and safety Service located at the armed forces, as well as the Swedish safety Police (SAPO).
